Lawn Care Treatments
If your lawn is not looking as green as you wish it might be time to consider some different lawn treatments including herbicide spraying and ensuring that you apply fertilizer regularly.
Lawn Fertilizer
We don’t recommend using fertilizer that has an excessive level of nitrogen as this may cause the grass growing faster but with a poor root structure. A better fertilizer will have the correct ratio between potassium,phosphorus and nitrogen and promote the grass to grow strong, long roots. Organic lawn fertilizers slowly release nutrients into the soil, don’t result in over application which leads to brown spots and gives continuing release of all the essential nutrients which is a great deal healthier for your lawn.
It isn’t a good idea to use weed control chemicals at random all over the lawn as this merely adds chemicals to the environment and is pointless. Buy a weed killer that is labeled as safe to use on lawns and use it as a spot weed killer only. Use a pump spray and aim for the weeds, not spraying around all over the lawn. In March or April it is an excellent to apply insect and fungus control products.
Grub worms (the larvae of June bugs) might be a nuisance in some areas and may cause brown spots to appear on your lawn. They can be dealt with easily by using a granular insecticide that is applied to the lawn and watered in. They can be prevented by using insecticide earlier on in the year.
A green and healthy lawn will be able to endure infestations of bugs a good deal better than a thin, unhealthy lawn! Keep to these lawn tips for a healthy lawn you are proud of.
